Top seed Swaraaj Shailendra Dhamdhere of Maharashtra marched into the boys’ U-18 final by overpowering Punjab’s Armaan Walia in straight sets 6-2 6-2 at the ongoing CLTA-AITA National Series Tennis Tournament.

He will face the local challenger, Ribhav Saroha, who defeated Karnataka’s Nithin Barath 6-3 6-1 in today’s semifinal, in the title clash.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
